Blue Rodeo - Last to Know Lyrics

What took so long to build, took a moment to slip away
You could barely hide the satisfaction on your face
Time takes another day, changes you in subtle ways
Lifts you up then slowly lets you go

Sitting there across the room your smile looks like a threat
Living underneath the heel of what you might do next
Memory works in strange ways, cuts you down and makes you pay
One day you'll be walking fine, the next day lightning hits you from behind

One heart, one love
Two people can't rise above
Each time we fall
Don't know what I was thinking of
And don't say it's so, don't say it's so
Let me be the last to know

Seems we move backward now the further on we walk
It's hard to find a single line through all our double talk
Home late and drunk again, close the door, shut out the rain
One more day no damage done, my spirits falling sinking like the sun

One heart, one love
Two people can't rise above
Each time we fall
Don't know what I was thinking of
And don't say it's so, don't say it's so
Oh, let me be the last to know
